At KPMG, we believe in the importance of creating consistently brilliant customer and employee experiences. The way we do that is by combining our unique insights with a talented team of experience designers alongside the transformation capability to make it real.

Capital projects consistently underperform in terms of budget, schedule, and value.  Stakeholders often lack confidence over the performance of their projects and programmes, and the transition to business-as-usual operation often fails to take advantage of the data and insight generated during the project implementation phase.  Data can enable and drive improvement as it has in many facets of our lives, with automation, digitalisation and AI now becoming the norm. 

It has quickly become a cheap commodity, easily created, and accessed.  However, capturing good quality, meaningful data to drive a completive edge, enable intelligence-led decision-making, helping to track and improve performance is today’s challenge for many organisations.  How do stakeholders obtain insights when served with an overwhelming volume of disorganised, poorly considered, badly constructed data?

Our Major Projects Advisory (MPA) team specialises in providing clarity to Boards, Executives and SRO’s and senior leaders across major public and private sector organisations, on the delivery of their complex projects and programmes. We work on some of the UK’s most strategically important programmes, and across all sectors including Utilities, Power, Energy, Transport, Natural Resources, Oil & Gas, Defence, Health and Education.
